My dog has itchy skin, shedding, and tummy issues. What food to try?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 7 months old | 23 lbs

Looking to change Lous food from pure balance grain free a mixture of wet and dry (it’s all he would eat after surgery) but he’s shedding like crazy and his face is super itchy and he’s so flaky. Along with tummy trouble. His belly gurgles and the gas is outrageous. He has also had a bit of soft stools and this morning a little vomiting. I’m not sure where to start on looking for something else

A skin sensitive diet such as royal canin skin support or a hydrolyzed diet such as royal canin hypoallergenic would be worthwhile, a 6-8 week trial would be recommended to assess the response from any new diet
